I'm not too much against this. We've been building a broad squad and have superb depth in virtually all positions. Traveling to a different continent across 5 time zones and back in a week is surprisingly taxing.

Last time we did something similar we humiliated Eddie Jones.

Very strong squad but so many walking wounded. It's a pity. If everyone was fit and firing we would be near unplayable x 2 teams...

Still injured or unavailable due to injury:
Faf, Lood, RG, Jean, Willemse, Edwill, Kurt-Lee (should be back for Arg), Moerat (should be back for Arg), Kitshoff (back but out of form), Mostert, Deon Fourie...

They got the British and Irish Lions to contend with next year. Joe has work to do. Just shows you, doesn't matter how good a coach you are, if you don't have the cattle you not going to get the job done.

Rugby union is maybe 80% players, 20% coach...

Also lekker having the waterfront right there with every place packed full of people continuing the good time after the match. Decent police and traffic cop presence, busses carting people off - the whole experience was good.

Oh for sure.. I want to try save some pennies extra for the next time and maybe stay in a hotel nearby.

I just need to crawl back to the hotel at some point, that's all. Better than driving home again afterwards

It's such a pity the trains don't work though, would be great to identify a few big stations for park and and train ride.

Ja, the 2010 WC was such a great experience and we could take the train back to Kuils River, after a late night in town.

They lack the players and most of the most talented youngsters are picking league and AFL above union.
Not seeing easy solutions for them.

We play them twice a year, so that would be the year before the next RWC we'd hit 7
Then we win our 5th RWC after that and become the greatest team of all time

Or we could lose two to Argentina and be the kukkest team ever.

I honestly can handle one loss to Arg, as long as they have the greatest game ever.

It's like watching your younger sibling starting to be at your level in a game.
